Overview
This HTS category, 2208.50.00.60, specifically classifies gin and geneva when packaged in containers designed to hold more than 4 liters. Gin and geneva are distilled alcoholic beverages characterized by their predominant flavor derived from juniper berries. This distinction places them within the broader chapter for beverages, spirits, and vinegar, and more narrowly within the subheading for gin and geneva.
The primary distinguishing factor for this category from its sibling, 2208.50.00.30, lies solely in the size of the retail or bulk packaging. While both subheadings cover gin and geneva, 2208.50.00.60 is reserved for larger format containers, typically intended for commercial use, bulk sale, or larger hospitality establishments, whereas 2208.50.00.30 pertains to smaller, individual consumer-sized bottles or packages.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this code is solely determined by the type of spirit (gin or geneva) and the volume of the container in which it is presented. Importers and exporters must ensure accurate declaration of the container size to correctly apply this classification.
